Chapter Nine

“So what’s the plan?” Lily asked.

“Always looking for a plan. I have none, just winging it. Are you hungry?” I wandered into the kitchen and rifled through the fridge.

“Not really. We had dinner before heading to the club.”

I grabbed a bottle of wine, two glasses, and a can of cashews. “I don’t think you’ve seen my bedroom yet.”

“The room we slept in last night isn’t your bedroom?”

“Guest room. It almost never gets used. Come on up.” I gestured for her to precede me up the stairs.

She snickered. “You just want to stare at my ass while I can’t stop you.”

“It’s a fine ass, for sure. Regardless, it’s good manners to allow the lady to go up the stairs first.”

She paused, staring at me. “Are you for real?”

“What?”

“You claim you’ve never had a real, meaningful relationship, yet you always open doors, and now this stair thing. Something doesn’t add up.”

“My mother taught me how to behave. That’s all. Stop overthinking it.”

She hesitated a moment longer, then climbed the stairs. I followed, happily watching the swish of her short skirt as it swayed and getting a peek at what was hidden beneath. Acting like a gentleman did have its advantages.

Lily paused on the landing, hesitant to walk through the open door into my room first, I supposed. I pretended not to notice she had stopped walking so I could “accidentally” bump into her and wrap my arms around her stomach. Taking a deep, obvious breath, I reveled in her scent. Sex and lavender; it was a heady smell that brought me back to our alley tryst. With regret, I withdrew from around her, careful not to drop the wine or glasses.

“Sorry,” I murmured in her ear. “After you.”

My bedroom was the nicest room in the house, aside from my home gym. A large sleigh bed with a black leather headboard dominated the open space. A desk lined one wall, and a dresser sat against another. There was an oversized walk-in closet and, through the open door near the dresser, a private bathroom with an oversized shower and hot tub.

I set the glasses on the desk and flipped on the light. I watched Lily look around the room as I poured the wine and took a sip, letting the flavors roll over my tongue. Satisfied, I handed her the other glass, watching the way her throat moved when she swallowed.

I set the glass down with a clink. “Cards?”

“Excuse me?”

“Do you play cards?”

“Not often.” Lily looked completely bewildered. I popped the lid off the cashews and smirked. “Why are we playing cards?”

“I think strip poker sounds fun.”

“You would think that.”

“I’m usually right.”

“Okay, so if you win, you get to see me naked. If I win, what?”

“You mean you don’t want to see me naked?” Silence was my only answer. I chuckled. “All right, Lily, what do you want if you win?”

“Information.”

“You can ask me anything; you should know that.” I was genuinely confused at her request. It’s not like I was hiding things.

“Sure. I ask, and you always deflect or distract me.
